Since launching their app in mid-November, the creators of After School, an anonymous social network for high school students, haven’t said a peep. Their app, however, which allows high school students to post secrets and gossip anonymously to their classmates, has been anything but quiet.

After School has been the subject of extreme scrutiny. One user in Michigan posted that he/she was bringing a gun to school, resulting in a police and FBI investigation (thankfully the threat wasn’t credible). Multiple Detroit school districts have emailed parents warning them about the app, and another Michigan high school is petitioning to remove the app from the App Store all together. The interest has been so strong that After School’s creators -- Cory Levy and Michael Callahan of One, a San Francisco-based social media startup -- are ready to answer some questions.
